Permanent Google Cloud token?

Questions
1

I’m using the usual Google Cloud project to access Drive, Docs, and Sheets. The token expires quickly if the workflow isn’t used, becasue the app is still in test mode.
I added a scheduled action to refresh it constantly, but it doesn’t work. Why?
Is there another way to refresh a test token?

You can try switching the App from “Test” to “Production”**

In test mode, Google limits the token lifetime and auto-refresh often fails.. Go to Google Cloud Console > OAuth Consent Screen, then:

  1. Click “Publish App” to move it from “Testing” to “Production”.
  2. You don’t need verification if you’re only using it for internal accounts (under same domain or added testers).

:right_arrow: This is the best long-term fix. It allows longer token lifetimes and reliable refresh tokens.

OR

Manually Generate a Refresh Token That Doesn’t Expire Immediately

  • When in test mode, refresh tokens still expire quickly unless used within 7 days or used regularly.
  • Your scheduled action might not be calling the refresh flow correctly or frequently enough.

:right_arrow: Make sure your token refresh flow:

  • Uses the correct OAuth refresh_token grant method.
  • Executes before the token fully expires (at least once per hour).

Thanks, I forgot about the possibility to publish without verification!
